I own, besides eight SLR Canon -five if them digital-, a vwery significant bunch of Canon lenses some of them with more than 20 years and the only who needed service was the 16mm f2.8 fisheye, by far the less used. I agree the building quality is not the Leica one, but they are not crap at all and if full open they have not the figures of vignetting, sharpness, distortion, etc of Leica lenses you just need close some stop to get very good outputs as many, many photographers do perfectly know. I have too the Noctilux and it's an extraordinary lens for his *features* much more than for his *performances*. So often our tools are better than our skill. Regrads. F?lix
